3 Overview
The Kramer TP-122N is an XGA/audio line receiver that receives the coded CAT 5
signal transmitted by a TP-121EDID XGA / Audio Line Transmitter, for example,
decodes it and converts it to XGA, stereo analog and S/PDIF digital audio outputs.
The
TP-122N, with the TP-121EDID transmitter, allows an operation range of more
than 300ft (more than 100m) over standard CAT 5 cable.
The TP-122N:
• Is HDTV Compatible
• Has a maximum resolution of WUXGA and 1080p
• Includes EQ. and level controls
• Can power or be powered by the transmitter over the same CAT 5 cable
when the devices are within 50m (150ft) of each other
• Is 12V DC fed
The TP-122N is housed in compact TOOLS ® enclosure where three units can be
rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3T rack
adapter.
3.1 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP)
We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that
the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cable. There
are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best
quality STP cable that you can afford.
Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP is
intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue.
In cases where there is skewing, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free
cable, Kramer
BC-XTP, may be advantageous, and UTP cable might also be
preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP cable, it is
advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from electric cables, motors
and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
